From June through August, we often have speakers present after Friday evening Kabbalat Shabbat services. Our speaker program began in 1983 shortly after our founding. Since then, we have brought over 240 high-calibre individuals spanning fields as varied as politics, law, media, theatre, music and food.
Past speakers have included: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, Gov. Madeline Kunin, Cong. Nita Lowey, Amb. Norman Eisen, Amb. Michael Oren, Chaim Potok, David Rubinstein, Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, Carl Bernstein, Thomas Friedman, Deborah Lipstadt, William Kristol and Chuck Todd.
